# Toby Huss

Tobias Huss (born December 9, 1966) is an American actor. He is known for portraying Artie in the Nickelodeon series The Adventures of Pete & Pete (1993–1996). He is also known for his voice-over work on the long-running animated series King of the Hill (1997–2010) as Kahn Souphanousinphone and Cotton Hill, and his role as Felix "Stumpy" Dreifuss on HBO's Carnivàle (2003–2005). He played John Bosworth on the AMC original period drama Halt and Catch Fire.

## Life and career
### Early life

Huss was born on December 9, 1966, in Marshalltown, Iowa, to Gerald and Elma Huss. His father was a high school chemistry teacher, and his mother was a cosmetics sales representative. He attended the University of Iowa, where he participated in No Shame Theatre before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

### Acting career

In the early 1990s, Huss appeared in network promos for MTV, playing characters such as Ol' Two Eyes, who sang lounge-singer versions of Dr. Dre's "Dre Day", Cypress Hill's "Insane in the Brain", Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", and Onyx's "Slam"; a James Bond-like spy named Cobalt; a leather fetishist with an abnormal affection for goats; a flannel-wearing doofus; and an angry redneck named Reverend Tex Stoveheadbottom, who delivered fast-talking and descriptively detailed non sequitur tirades that usually included the phrase, "Go to Hell!". From 1993-1996, he played Artie, the Strongest Man in the World on Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Other roles include the voices of Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone on King of the Hill and "the Wiz", a boyfriend of Elaine Benes in the Seinfeld episode "The Junk Mail".
From his parodies of Frank Sinatra, which were featured in the films Vegas Vacation and Down Periscope, and the show Halt and Catch Fire, Huss has created a Sinatra-inspired character named Rudy Casoni. Huss released a 2003 album under Casoni's name called S'no Balls. As Huss put it in an interview with Paper, "You’d think he was a normal crooner, then he kind of gets dark."

## Personal life

Huss is a single father and has one daughter, named Charlotte. He is also a multidisciplinary artist, painter, and photographer.
